Whilst in the air, it is the crew who are in charge of the medical situation - not the professional
BAcrewboy, please believe me when say that I am
not trying to discredit crew members, nor am I trying to disparage your well-meant remark.
But you do appear to be belittling the accumulated years of experience acquired by "the professional" - in this case a cardiac surgeon, if the original report has any credence.
If we are to believe the later reports on the case of the unfortunate cardiac arrest case, the patient arrived at the hospital brain dead - which confirms the cardiac surgeon passenger's original opinion when he recommended the cessation of resuscitation procedures.
All this self-aggrandisement does very little to better the cabin crew's cause.
I, for one, have a First Class Honours from Bristol University in Philosophy and Economis. I have flown with doctors, lawyers, and many other highly skilled people.
It is a pity you do not heed the advice offered to you by those passengers. The heart specialist was just that: a
specialist.
Finally, in one of your earlier comments, you asked for a link to a BASSA press hand-out. You had very loudly proclaimed your resignation from the union before that, so you cannot now demand that it include you in the services it provides.
Or - more simply put: you can't have your cake and eat it!
